Chapter 41 Angry Momo

"Thump, thump, thump,"

"Please come in,"

Upon hearing Teacher Shen's voice, Gu Yihan opened the door and went straight into the office.

Teacher Shen looked up at Gu Yihan and said, "Why haven't you come to school these past few days?"

Gu Yihan said, "I was sick and rested at home for a few days."

"Teacher Shen, I'm planning to do an internship at a machinery factory."

Teacher Shen looked at Gu Yihan and said, "Okay, you can go the day after tomorrow. Rest at home tomorrow to recover. Your health is the most important thing."

"The school only requires you to come for the exams. You were just starting your internship six months in advance anyway."

"By the way, once you have a stable job, come to my house for dinner. My mom has been really looking forward to meeting you."

Gu Yihan thought that the recommendation spot was given by Teacher Shen, and since she had bought her house, she would need to visit her family in the future, so she didn't refuse.

He smiled and said, "Teacher Shen, I will definitely visit you when your aunt has time."

Gu Yihan ran into Zhou Tingmei as she left the school gate. She and a tall man in a gray Zhongshan suit were chatting and laughing as they walked toward the school.

She was about to pretend she hadn't seen her and walk away when Zhou Tingmei called her back.

"Gu Yihan, you're back at school! It's been so long since I've seen you," Zhou Tingmei called out cheerfully.

The two walked up to her, and Gu Yihan greeted them with a smile, saying, "I was sick and rested at home for a few days. I came to school today because I have some things to do."

"Tingmei, aren't you going to introduce me?" The deep voice carried a hint of flirtation.

Zhou Tingmei introduced Gu Yihan with a happy expression: "This is my boyfriend, Zhang Qiang from the Municipal Party Committee Group."

Gu Yihan paused for a moment upon hearing the name, then instinctively exclaimed, "Zhang Qiang?"

Isn't this Zhang Qiang, who wanted to force Su Nian to marry him? He's 40 years old, but his appearance and clothes don't look like it at all.

Zhang Qiang smiled gently at Gu Yihan and said, "This student, do you know me?"

Gu Yihan quickly shook her head: "I don't know."

She didn't have a good feeling about Zhang Qiang; she always felt that he was like a venomous snake in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to bite her.

Zhang Qiang looked at her with a dark expression and said, "When Tingmei and I get married, our classmates will come to the wedding banquet."

Gu Yihan felt uncomfortable under his gaze and said, "We'll talk about it later."

"Then you guys go ahead with your work, I'll be going now."

Zhang Qiang stared intently at Gu Yihan's departing figure and murmured softly, "I didn't expect her to be so good-looking. I let you get away last time, let's see if you can escape next time?"

Seeing Zhang Qiang staring at Gu Yihan, Zhou Tingmei pretended to be angry and patted his arm, saying, "What are you looking at? Is she prettier than me?"

Zhang Qiang tapped Zhou Tingmei's nose with his fingertip: "Little jealous girl, of course you're prettier. You're just an unripe bean sprout, how can you be as sexy as me?"

Zhou Tingmei deliberately raised her voice and patted Zhang Qiang's chest, saying, "You're so annoying, all you do is make fun of people."

Zhang Qiang coaxed gently, "Alright, you're at school now. We'll have plenty of time to discuss this after we get married."

Zhou Tingmei nodded and said, "Then I'll go first. You can only leave when you can't see me anymore."

Seeing the other person nod, Zhou Tingmei turned and walked towards the school.

The smile vanished the instant she turned around.

He muttered to himself as he walked, "What a bastard, that old pervert. If it weren't for the fact that she had to stay here, she would fawn over him. Disgusting thing. Once she gets a foothold in this city..."

"She wouldn't have sacrificed her marriage if it weren't for getting rid of the vampire in her family."

After returning home, Gu Yihan felt increasingly uneasy. Zhang Qiang clearly knew about her.

Did he know that Su Nian was marrying a soldier because she suggested it? No one knows about this except her and Su Nian, unless Su Nian told someone.

This incident served as a wake-up call for her.

During this special period, we must be extremely cautious, especially since the Revolutionary Committee will be established next year, making it even harder to distinguish between those around us and those around us who are not.

Gu Yihan took a deep breath, walked into the kitchen, and took out the shiitake mushrooms and pork belly she had exchanged at the market from her spatial storage, placing them on the cutting board.

Wash the shiitake mushrooms, dice the pork belly and shiitake mushrooms, and marinate for 20 minutes.

Heat oil in a wok, add minced ginger and stir-fry until dry and fragrant, then add diced meat and stir-fry until the moisture evaporates and the oil is rendered.

When Mao Mao smelled the aroma of meat, she stopped being angry, wagged her tail, and came in, circling around the pot.

Gu Yihan scooped up some mushroom sauce with a spoon and deliberately swirled it around Mao Mao's nose: "How come you know to come to me by smelling the aroma, but I won't give you any?"

As he spoke, he put it into his mouth under Mao Mao's watchful gaze.

Mao Mao got anxious and pounced on Gu Yihan's lap, her little eyes filled with tears of grievance.

"Hahahaha," Gu Yihan took out the pre-cooked ribs.

Go get your rice bowl, and Mao Mao immediately put the rice bowl in front of her with her mouth full.

Gu Yihan put the ribs in its rice bowl and said, "This is a one-time thing. We can't afford to eat this often."

Mao Mao bit her rice bowl and left without listening to her finish speaking.

Gu Yihan packed the prepared mushroom and meat sauce into jars, which she would mail to the Kuncheng Military Region tomorrow along with the money.

The next morning, Gu Yihan took the money and tickets, packed up the mushroom sauce, and went to the post office.

This time, Mao Mao happily followed along, running around and having fun on the road. When it got too fast, it turned around and saw that Gu Yihan hadn't kept up, so it squatted down by the roadside and waited.

Gu Yihan ignored it and went into the post office. When Mao Mao saw Gu Yihan turn into the house, it followed her in.

"Miss, I'm here again, mailing a package."

She frequented the post office and became familiar with Zhao Ju there: "Still mailing it to my hometown!"

As Gu Yihan filled out the form, she said, "This time it's not; it's sent to the military region."

Zhao Ju immediately leaned over the stamp cabinet and looked at her, asking, "Do you have any relatives there?"

Gu Yihan looked at her questioningly: "No."

Zhao Ju said dejectedly, "I thought you knew someone in the military region."

"I admire soldiers so much. My family keeps urging me to go on blind dates, but I don't care. I want to find a soldier."

Gu Yihan looked at her admiringly: "Aren't you afraid of the hardships of being a military wife?"

Zhao Ju said with a look of longing, "I was rescued by soldiers when I was 12 years old. I think they are hardworking, brave, hardworking and dedicated. From that time on, my dream has been to be like them."

"I always thought that when I grew up, I would marry a soldier."

Gu Yihan looked at her and said her dream of marrying a soldier. She opened her mouth as if to say, "Dreams are not reality; reality is the mundane things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea."

He then said, "Then I wish you all your dreams come true."

The next morning, at the entrance of the machinery factory, Gu Yihan and Mao Mao confronted each other: "The gates were all locked, how did you get out?"

"Go back now, go back the way you came out." Mao Mao sat there unmoved.

Gu Yihan went up to grab its ear, and Mao Mao ran away. Seeing that she wasn't chasing it, it came back.

Gu Yihan was furious; she was about to go in and report for duty.

Grandpa Gu, the gatekeeper, was overjoyed to see the man and his dog together.

Grandpa Gu stepped in to defuse the situation, saying, "Young man, you can let it stay here; it'll keep me company."

Having no other choice, Gu Yihan could only say apologetically, "Sir, I'm so sorry to trouble you."

Grandpa Gu waved his hand and said, "It's alright, I just like dogs that are so intelligent and understanding."

Gu Yihan glared at Mao Mao and said, "Stay put with me and don't run around. I'll pick you up after get off work."

Mao Mao flicked its tail and walked straight to Grandpa Gu, where it lay down.
